Hannah Simms
Hannah attended Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, graduating with her BA in English in 2018. Following graduation, she moved to Madrid where she taught English to elementary school children as a Cultural and Language Assistant for a year and traveled around Europe before pursuing her MSc at the University of Edinburgh. During her time in Edinburgh, she developed a strong interest in the representation of femininity and feminine roles in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novels. She is especially interested in the use and effect of conduct books on the perception of femininity of the time, and the ways in which women writers in particular challenged or accepted those ideals. She hopes to continue studying women and femininity in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novels and having meaningful conversations with people who inspire her.
